''Improving the quality of pre-operative ultrasound examination (ultrasonography) could lead to a significant decrease in the number of unnecessary major surgical operations done on women with suspected ovarian cancer, who in fact have benign ovarian ...'

''ScienceDaily (Jan. 11, 2008) — A high-energy form of ultrasound imaging developed by researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering produces pictures of liver tumors that are better than those made with traditional ultrasound, according to ...'

''Mathematicians at the University of Liverpool have found that it is possible to gain full control of sound waves which could lead to improved medical scans, for technology such as ultra sound machines. Working in partnership with the Indian Institute ...'

''ScienceDaily (Dec. 19, 2007) — Detection and treatment of tumours, diseased blood vessels and other soft-tissue conditions could be significantly improved, thanks to an innovative imaging system being developed that uses both light and sound. The system ...'

''Specialists at Loyola University Health System are the first in the nation to use new ultrasound technology to guide ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), offering potential improvements in both the precision and safety of this therapy. AF is the most ...'

''ScienceDaily (Dec. 10, 2007) — For skin transplants to “take root”, it needs to be ensured that the patient’s tissue is properly irrigated with blood. Low-frequency ultrasound can promote this effect. Researchers have developed the first device that ...'

''NORFOLK, VA, AND WAUKESHA, WI — GE Healthcare, the leading manufacturer of 3D/4D ultrasound systems, has licensed a technique patented by an Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) obstetrician that can automate the acquisition of ultrasound images used ...'

''ScienceDaily (Nov. 27, 2006) — A new ultrasound technique allows radiologists to accurately distinguish benign from malignant breast lesions. Using elasticity imaging, researchers correctly identified both cancerous and harmless lesions in nearly all of ...'

''Scientists at the University of Oxford are trying to harness the energy released when bubbles collapse as a way of killing off cancer cells. They have built a device to beam waves of ultrasound into the body, generating bubbles at the site of a ...'

''Experts examining patterns in ultrasound images can more accurately classify ovarian tumors as benign or malignant than can pre-surgical blood tests, according to a study published online in the Nov. 13 Journal of the National Cancer Institute. An ...'
